How to Build a Girl by Caitlin Moran
5.0

The main character Johanna (alter ego Dolly Wilde), while perhaps being a bit hyper realistic, is absolutely unforgettable. Big hearted, crazy, hilarious and insecure, she reminds me a bit of a teenage Bridget Jones if she were to be the young reporter in Almost Famous. It's a supremely witty and heartfelt coming of age story, full of so many quotes that resonated. I think it's the first time I ever took a picture of the text in a book. Loved it.
